BUNDLE BEES AND CLOVER SEED
Maurice Thompson, State geologist of In
diana, and chief of the department OF nat
ural history in that State, we'll known as a
literary and scientific writer, relates in a
recent report the following interesting in
cident:
I made a good old farmer call me a crank
the other day when I told him the reason
his clover fields have failed to bear as
much seed as they formerly did.
you don't allow the humble bees to be
killed on your farm do you:" I asked.
Eyes, sir I do" he cried, 81 make my
boys burn up every plagued nest of them"
$50 1 supposed" I replied, land that is
why your clover seed fails you. Bundle
bees make clover Seed"
"You're a crank! You're a crank J" he
exclaimed, and looked at me as if he
thought / was a fit subject for the lunatic
asylum. And yet it lisa fact that a strong
nest of humble bees in a big field of clover
is worth $50 to the owner; for these insects
are the chief agents in fertilizing the bios.
SONS, thereby inSuring a heavy crop of
seed. In Australia there are no humble
bees of our kind, and they could not raise
clover seed there until they imported some
humble bees"

LoGICAL.-A Georgia paper records the
following anecdote illustrating the difficult
ty which children frequently experience
in making distinctions. There is such a
thing as making a rule too ~inf1exible,
and carrying logic too far:
He was learning to spell and read at
the same time, and his text book was a
First Reader. His chief stumbling stone
was a double letter. When he came to the
word 'feel," instead ofspelling it "f-double
ell, feel" he would say "f-e-e-l, feel" re-
peating the double letter twice. 1t took
weeks to impress him with the necessity
of saying "double" whenever he found
two letters together, but he learned it at
last.
One day, toward the close of a vacation
during which he had grown rusty, he was
brought out before a company of ladies
and gentlemen to read any piece they
might select in his First Reader. His
mother watched him with trembling anx-
iety, but he appeared to feel himself equal
to the occasion. A young lady among the
company selected a little poem, which be-
gan with this line:
"Up, up, Lucy the sun is in the sky"
The embryo logician took his place in
the centre of the parlor floor, made a bow,
and read the first line as follows: Double
up, Lucy; the sun is in the sky" He
never finished the recitation.

THE MORMON TEMPLE.-The '"Temple
of Zion" is in process of construction, and
is to become one of the most remarkable
and beautiful edifices in the world. Its
design is a modification of the Temple OF
Solomon. 1t stands within the walled
space of ten acres, originally set apart for
temple purposes, upon which the Taber-
| aele and the buildings known as the En-
dowment House stands. When the Tenn
pie is completed, it will be the house of
worship par excellence; the Tabernacle
will be- reserved for gatherings, meetings,
conce. s of a semi-secular character.
The esign of the Temple is very beau
tiful and symmetrical. Its great blocks of
white hewn granite sparkle in the sun
light as if i%mpregnated with jewels; its
foundation walls are nine feet in thick
ness, and are pierced by six tiers of win
dows, two of them circular, the upper
ones called the "Eyes of God" Every
part of the structure is %symbolical, repre-
senting sun, moon, stars, and different
parts of the earth's surface, cut in stone.
It is expected that the cost will reach five
millions before it is finished, which should
be in about one years time. The cost has
been entirely betrayed by church tith-
ing, and there is not the least difficulty in
securing all the money needed.-Democrat.

A GLASS OF WATER IN THE MORNING.
According to DR.. Leuf, when water is taken
into the full or partly full stomach, it does
not mingle with the food, as we are gener-
ally taught, but passes along quickly be-
tween the food and the lesser curvature,
towards the pylorus, through which it
passes into the intestine. The secretion
of mucus by the lining membrane is con-
slant, and during the night a considerable
amount accumulates in the stomach, some
of its liquid portion is absorbed, and that
which remains is thick and tenacious. If
food is taken i'm the stomach when in this
condition., it becomes coated with this
mucus, and the secretion of the %eastric
Juice and its action is delayed. These
facts show the value of a goblet of water
before breakfast. This washes out the te-
nacious mucus, and stimulates the gastric
glands to secretion. In old or feeble per-
sons water should not be taken cold, but
it may be with great advantage then
taken warm or hot. This removal of the
accumulated mucus from the stomach is
probably one of the reasons why taking
soup at the beginning of a meal has al
ways been found so beneicial.-N. Y. Post.

SUBSOILS.

Too many are fattering themselves That
they have another farm underneath that
they can draw upon at any time after they
have exhausted the n now on top. Thls
is, doubtless, a pleasing thought to the
man who is cropping his land with wheat
wear after year. But it is a delusion, my
friends, it surely is a delusion. You'll
earn all you get from down below, mark
my word for it.
I believe in cuitivating to a moderate
depth. For some crops [ believe in hav-
ing a good deep soil, but [ do not believe
in this indiscriminate advocacy of deep
cultivation. Some advocate the blowing
of all lands to the depth of twelve inches
or even more. Now some crops upon some
soils may demand such deep blowing, and
for other crops upon other soils such ploW-
ing often proves most detrimental and in
furious. The wheat crop, for instance,
needs but a shallow soil. Six inches OF
cultivated soil is a great plenty for this
crop. The addition of more to this would
not only add to the expense OF the culture,
but would prove an injury to the crop.
Some soils can be cultivated to the depth
of q foot or more, while others cannot.
Our deep loan will stand equalization,
while our sandy loans cannot. The soil
proper in many localities is not over six
inches deep. Now what will be the result
if a furrow ten or twelve inches deep be
turned here? Our six inches of good sur
face soil is thrown under, and from four to
six inches of worthless subsoil brought up
over it. Yes, it is worse than worthless.
1t sometimes ruins a field for a crop for
years to come. A naturally weak and
shallow soil cannot assimilate and f~ertilize
such a dose of cold sour subsoil. 1t is, in
deed, in need of help itself, perhaps, and
to help it we must give the original six
inches of soil more plant food, in the form
of manures. instead of diffusing and over
whelming the already scant soilin as much
more raw subsoil.
Yet the fact remains, that some soils
need deepening, and such, of course, can
be %deepened to the farmers advantage

MORMONs AT Manifestations trouble
is feared on the banks of the Savannah
River, near Augusta, Ga. The Rev: David
Berion and Elders Spencer and Murray,
Mormon missionaries, have been preach
ing in that locality for some time: They
have converted about twenty-five families
of the more ignorant whites. The doc
trine %expounded is that all who do not
adopt the faith of Mormonism and 60 to
Utah before 1893 will be destroyed by hre !;
that no marriages are in accordance with
the laws of God except those sactioned by
the Mormon Church and that no woman
can attain to absolute perfection in the
future unless married in this life. Notice
to leave the locality has been served on
the missionaries by the more responsible
citizens, but they have refused to comply.
The missionaries are backed up by their
converts, and declare that they will resist
any attempt of the regulatorsto drive them
from the country.

The PeopIe's Bank of st. Paul.

This bank was organized under the
state banking laws about Jan. l, 1888,
and was located on Seventh street on
the corner of Sibley. The capital paid
IN was 100000, and since its organiZa-
ton it has enjoyed liberal patronage
from the business men in that vicinity.
Besides paying its Semi-annual divi-
dends of per cent it has accumulated a
surplus fund of $1,000, and has an aver
age depiSit line of S250,O00, with loans
averaging 100000. Its officers are G. E.
Rittenhouse, president; Alex Sternberg,
vice president; +. X. Moore, cashier.
These gentlemen have all had a large
banking experience, Mr.. RittenhOuSe
having been formerly connected with
the First National bank of st. Paul, and
manager of the Peoples bank since its
organization. Mr.. Sternberg has been
for fifteen years past a director in the
German-American and National
German-American banks, severing
his connection with them to take
the duties of the vice presidency. His
wide acquaintance, sterling character
and business ability are well known in
st. Paul. Mr.. Moore was trained under
EdgertOn g. DOnahOwer and the First
National bank of ST. Peter, and has made
many friends since his connection with
the bank. The growing business of this
Institution has neceSSited larger quar-
tiers and they have secured a fine bank
ing Office in the new Schultz building
on Jackson and Seventh streets, which
will be occupied by them in February
next. 1t is contemplated in the coming
year to increase the capital to $500, 900,
and the best facilities can be afforded to
all classes of accounts. The smaller
class of accounts will have the best at
tentiOn. The directory is as follows:

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The signal office

trains begin to run again. If any scient-
lists want data from Mount Washington,
Lieutenant Craig, who is now acting chief

last fifteen years, which can be had at the
signal Office, will probably be sufficient for
all necessary calculations. The station at
Pixies Peak, Col, is also about to be aban-
doned, as the observations at so high an
altitude are not regarded as of sufficient
value to warrant the further continuation
